Pristina is the capital of Kosovo and one of the youngest cities in the Balkans by average age. In the centre the Ottoman era Fatih Mosque and Great Hammam stand a few hundred metres from the Newborn monument marking the 2008 declaration of independence, while the National Library is the city's most debated building. Turkish citizens enter Kosovo without a visa, which makes it convenient for a short weekend. Turkish Airlines flies direct from Istanbul and Pegasus and AJet from Sabiha Gokcen, with the flight taking about 1 hour 55 minutes.
